Chapter 55: Secrets
"I've prepared a lot of materials to build the portal, but I'll need some obsidian and essentia." Moon Shadow saw the awkward atmosphere between the dragon kings, and Nesario's betrayal was a big blow to all of them, after all, they had been friends and relatives since the creation of the Titans. Millions of years of friendship can't be washed away in 5,000 years.
"Essentia and obsidian are both rare minerals, but neither of them is easy to find, and I guess there's only one place where you can get the amount you want." Nozdorm thought for a moment and said slightly.
"You mean the Deep Rock Continent, the territory of the Stone Mother Thrathane? It's not easy, and although she's the most peace-loving of all the elemental lords, just because she's the most peace-loving of all the elemental lords doesn't mean she doesn't like to fight. "Ysera obviously knows what Nozdorm is talking about.
"Serasein, the Mother of Stone, is the ruler of earth, dust, stone, and mountains. Thrathine was hard to get angry and tried to avoid fighting. If she rises to the challenge, she's still a formidable opponent. Her trick is to charge at the most dangerous enemies, smashing her target into tiny shards, after which she will move to the next one. When she faces a real challenge, she quickly retreats into the ground and is a very difficult opponent to deal with. Malygos said and shook his head slightly, even as a guardian dragon, he was afraid of these elemental lords.
There are four Elemental Lords in total, namely the Flame Lord Ragnaros, the Stone Mother Thrathane, the Wind Elemental Lord Orakir the Wind Rider, and the Tide Hunter Nepturon. As followers of the Elder Gods, they once led armies to fight the Titans, but were defeated and sealed by the Titans. Among the Four Elemental Lords, players are most familiar with the Great Screw of the Fire Demon. In MC, the administrator Exotus once said, "Ragnaros, Lord of Flames, he is older than the world itself, submit before him, before your doomsday!" After 4.2, he added a classic line: "Let the flame purify everything." "MC's Orange Hammer has also been out of reach for countless players.
When the Titans defeated the Elder Gods and brought order to the world, imprisoning the Elemental Lords and their minions in the Warped Void became one of the first things they did. These messengers of chaos must be forbidden to roam freely, or the order that the Titans are trying to create will be disrupted. As a result, the Titans created a separate plane to imprison their ancient enemies. After a brief period of time, the Titans put all the elements they could find in this hastily crafted prison.
The plane created by this Titan is a rather small sphere - about the size of a single world. Above this world, a yellow ball that emits light and heat hovers, acting as the "sun" of this complete world. Ordinary gravitational pull draws objects towards the inside of the sphere – where the field of flame is located. A layer of rock, perpetually filled with cavities, supports the earth and water on the surface. Above this, layers of air enveloped the earth, never accessible to the chaotic flames below.
The planet is twisted in a strange way that tends to hinder the creatures of Azeroth. With the adaptation to the planet's ability to bind, it has become impossible to escape by ordinary means of movement. A creature struggles to escape the simple and brutal cycle of this planet and go to the other side. Therefore, if he crosses the sea by boat, he will eventually reach the other side of the world's only continent. The continent itself is slightly larger than Kalim, and the width of the sea is almost the same in all directions.
Originally, most of the elemental lords had fallen into a deep sleep after a long period of sealing, but the violent energy of the cataclysm caused them to break free from the seal and return. After the outbreak of the Dwarves' Three-Hammer War, the leader of the Black Iron Tribe, Thorrison provoked a war, but in the face of the combined forces of the Ironforge and the Brute Hammer Clan, the Black Iron Dwarves were defeated one after another. The soon-to-be-defeated King Thoresen began to summon powerful elemental creatures in order to win the war, but unfortunately, instead of ordinary elemental creatures, they summoned one of the most powerful beings in the elemental plane: Ragnaros, the Flame Lord! Although the summoner Thorrison directly tore the powerful force to shreds, the fire demon's anger did not stop. Enraged, Ragnaros roared and tore through the Red Ridge Mountains, shaking the earth with such force that a roaring volcano rose from the ashes, forming a volcano bordered by a scorching canyon to the north and a burning plain to the south—the Blackstone Tower. The Black Iron Dwarves have also paid a great price for their stupidity, and have become tools of the Fire Demons.
Orakir the Wind Protector is the undisputed king of the skies, gases, and winds.
Orakir rules the skies of the elemental plane. His territory borders on all the other elementals, and the Sky Wall has more influence with the rest of the elemental realms than with the rest of the realms, but he is the most fickle and withdrawn of all the elemental lords. Just as he would suddenly cause a conflict, he would probably ignore the invasion of the Sky Wall by other elements after the conflict. His mood is as fickle as the weather. It's very likely that he'll make some big mess if he's happy today, and he'll be completely indifferent to someone else's invasion of his territory tomorrow.
Nepturon the Tide Hunter is the ruler of water, lakes, rivers, and seas. All water elementals and those creatures that will use water and cold as their primary abilities will revere him. Some people believe that when a wise creature is drowned, his soul will pass through the realm of Neptulon on its way to its final destination. He was supposed to keep these souls that pleased and interested him, but Neptulon laughed at the thought. He is especially fond of extinguishing flames, and has a deep hatred for the fire elementals. In the end, the poor lord was swallowed by a large octopus at 4.0.
In fact, the Mother of Stone Thrasaine is far less famous than her daughter Princess Thrydes, one of the most famous princesses in World of Warcraft, known for her "beauty and slenderness". She is a terrestrial elemental associated with the Elder Gods. Long ago, she was married to Cenarius's eldest son, Zalta, and their offspring ...... Known as centaurs. It's too far!!
"Well, I've heard of the Deep Rock Continent, and it seems that the entrance is in the maelstrom. Inside, there is an important building, the Temple of the Earth, which is made of essentia and seems to be the pillar of the world that supports Azeroth. I'll just go and find the materials myself, and I'll bring back all the materials I need. Moon Shadow nodded, he naturally knew what was going on in the Deep Rock Continent, but it was better for these things to be told by the dragon kings. Moon Shadow has only lived for thousands of years, and it would be a bit appalling for him to say it all, after all, most of them belong to Xinmi.
"You're right, but you're not entirely right." Nozdom said and touched his chin.
"How?" Moon Shadow frowned slightly, and asked Nozdorm with some curiosity.
"In fact, after the cataclysm, the explosion of the Well of Eternity shattered the boundaries between the two worlds, bringing them together. The Maelstrom was the site of the worst explosion, where a door to the elemental plane had been torn open, and the so-called Deep Rock Island was actually the deep lair of the elemental plane. Moon Shadow thought he knew a lot, but he didn't expect Nozdorm's explanation to be so powerful, he had never heard of it before. After listening to this, Moon Shadow nodded, it seems that the information obtained in the game alone is a little incomplete, after all, the version of Warcraft before Yue Yin fell into the pit was still updated, and I don't know a lot of follow-up developments. It's like the Panda Man Empire or something, Yue Yin doesn't have it in his memory.
"Well, so be it! Although you are half-body, you are not good at flying, and it is inconvenient to go to the Deep Rock Continent. I'll send someone to help you when you get back. Malygos shrugged his nose: "That's it, you have gathered all the materials and then come to us, we will naturally help where we need our strength, and there are still some small things in the clan that I will go back first." ”
"Please walk slowly." Moonshadow nodded and greeted Malygos.
"We'll be gone, and you'll just have to contact us then." Alexstrasza nodded slightly to Moon Shadow and disappeared into thin air, followed by Ysera. "Lord of Time, please stay." Without waiting for Nozdorm to leave, Moon Shadow was busy, and he now had some questions to continue to ask him for.
